托福閱讀中遇到太多生詞如何應(yīng)對(duì)
1、根據(jù)同義、反義關(guān)系猜詞

A. freethinking B. traditional C. old D. happy

2、根據(jù)句意或段落文章的上、下文猜測(cè)詞義
Klebold and Harris felt _______ and wanted to revenge against those who disliked playing
together with them or laughed at them.
A. discouraged B. ashamed C. tired D. separated
根據(jù)下文的disliked playing together with them判斷此處應(yīng)為“感到孤立”,故選D。
利用構(gòu)詞法猜測(cè)詞義(利用前、后綴及合成詞猜詞義)
1、用前、后綴猜測(cè)詞義
英語(yǔ)中的前綴、后綴構(gòu)詞頗多,且特定的綴往往表示特定的含義,把握住這一點(diǎn),可起到以不變應(yīng)萬(wàn)變的效果。
1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last.
overwork是由前綴over-加動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成,over有“超過(guò)、過(guò)于”之意,overwork意思是“工作過(guò)多,勞累過(guò)度”。再如,overburden負(fù)擔(dān)過(guò)重,overcharge要價(jià)過(guò)高,overdo做得過(guò)分。英語(yǔ)中常用的前綴還有:
mis-錯(cuò),誤:misfortune不幸;mislead誤導(dǎo);mismanage處理不當(dāng)
mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路
under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估
anti-反對(duì):antibody抗體;anticyclone反氣旋;antifreeze防凍劑
下面劃線單詞為常見(jiàn)后綴派生詞:
1)You must stop dreaming and face reality.(-ty為名詞的標(biāo)志)
2)The country is trying to popularize education. (-ize為及物動(dòng)詞的標(biāo)志,再如realize, modernize)
2、利用合成詞猜測(cè)詞義。
Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.
根據(jù)短語(yǔ)構(gòu)成及上下文意思看,此處partakes in相當(dāng)于takes part in。再如break out-outbreak(名詞爆發(fā)),set out-outset(名詞起始),come in-income(名詞收入) 。
以上介紹了幾種猜測(cè)詞義的方法,托??荚囆枰忌邆湟欢康脑~匯,遇到不懂的詞匯也不要緊張,通過(guò)以上方法的學(xué)習(xí),相信會(huì)對(duì)你有一定程度的幫助
